Not only does Amazon have the Batman 66 items, they have created a unique section for them under the McFarlane Toys banner, as if they’re expecting more eventually…

Edit: I tried a link, but it didn’t work. Once you’re in the McFarlane Store portion of Amazon, click on DC Multiverse, and it’ll give you three options now, whereas a few days ago there were only two.

This is good news. Whilst these haven’t been particularly hard to come by I jumped on late. Only opting in When it became apparent that McF intended to dive deep into character selection and the Batboat reveal.

I wonder if this means a possibly option for earlier figure re-releases? Batman and Robin for instance. Not interested in $40 eBay prices but a re release at retail would be welcome.

I stupidly decided to jump into this line late...after seeing every single figure in Target multiple times.

Ordered Batman, Robin, & Joker from Ali Express. Hoping for the best!

Good news: Target charged my card for King T, so he’s hopefully on his way.

Bad news: My local Targets have eliminated their spaces for Batman 66 stuff. The tags, the pegs, all of it, in both the normal toy area and the collectors’ area. Of course, this could end up being good news if the line is actually expanding beyond Target (as hypothesized when Amazon started adding B66 stuff).

EE now has a number of Batman 66 items available for preorder, including the upcoming Batboat and Wayne Manor playset, and the Batmobile, for those who missed out the first time.

They need to re-release the normal Batman & Robin for those who passed on them at the time they are going for $50 a piece now!

I hope they do! I bought the lunchbox 4-pack, but I'd like a Batman and Robin with regular eyes and the blue costume. Although, I guess I would really only buy them if they were in the $16 price range, since the Batman and Robin from the lunchbox set are not that different from the original releases (as far as I can tell).

Agreed! Between Mattel and McFarlane I have a Batman and Robin for the shelf, to climb the Mattel wall dio, to sit in the Batmobile, and to sit in the Batcycle. Now I need a set to sit in the upcoming Batboat.

BBTS also has the most recent wave up for order, some older figures, plus the three vehicles and the Villains Lair and Library playsets.

Hoping this means continued success for the line and more figures being made, and that maybe Target had timed exclusivity on some things - or if they chose not to order a certain number McF was allowed to take it wide.

With how good the new Keaton-mobile is compared to previous vehicular efforts, you think Todd will give us a deluxe 66 Batmobile someday? I'm happy to have gotten the current one at a discount, but the Mattel release from over a decade ago is the best 1:12 scale version of that incarnation sans rubber tires.

So my hope for the Batman 66 line is that we will see:

Batgirl
Mad Hatter
False Face
Civilian Bruce
Civilian Dick
Alfred

Civilian Barbara Godon
Riddler (John Astin)
Aunt Harriet
Chief O'Hara
Commissioner Gordon

I wouldn’t disagree with any of those.

Also add the Batcopter and Batgirl cycle diorama and a goons set of some description

Nice list :)

I think Batgirl has been confirmed? (the comic version though not the TV version due to issues with the holder of Yvonne Craig's likeness)

Would love a civilian Bruce/Dick and Alfred (plus Aunt Harriet) to go with the upcoming Wayne Manor playset

A police HQ playset would be great given how often it shows up, would love to get Gordon and O'Hara (even though AFAIK Gordon would look like Neil Hamilton, again due to the rights issues)
